immediate response should come from the international community mediately visiting istanbul on monday russian president vladimir putin has stressed once again that's russia does not support president assad's regime it supports peace and syria and deploying patriot missiles to the turkish syrian border would only escalate the conflicts on the border and escalate the conflict within the country the countries which could supply turkey with such missiles are you there the u.s. germany and the netherlands however for germany and the no one states may need a me needs a parliamentary approval in order to deploy their missiles to turkey and that will take of course extra time and. also russian the two council meeting is taking place here at nato headquarters today during which this issue will also be discussed and russia still doesn't think that this is the deploying patriot satiric is the brightest idea but the of course this is not the only talk but on the agenda

intervening too much in the market. and the way to solve that problem by government withdrawing by printing the role of government by getting government to spend less arts less and regulate less that is what will comic back in order that's what will . cause the geography. is here. so. having companies being supported by the government is only a very short term solution in the long term it is a disaster. still to come from the euro zone's weak and states into its financial stronghold as a metaphorical has launched a campaign for a third term as german chancellor we look at what the real lesson would mean for the thing of how you see blood. clots and the growing split in you with the site team with an online profiles that bridges the movement attracting more than a million dollars a report right after the break. which

issues do just what their name implies they get between people and drive them apart like a wedge and these issues seem to always take the forefront in the media it's things like abortion gun rights marijuana legalization and the weather well the weather isn't really aware. people sure talk about it way too much there's only so much room in the national discourse and the switch issues just eat up all of the time and attention but the thing is that there's a little something called the tenth amendment you know the one that says that any powers that are specifically delegated the federal government are reserved for the states and last time i checked the constitution doesn't have a special we've clause saying that marijuana has to be an all or nothing national proposal and that goes for abortion and most of the wedge issues also there's a simple answer all these wedge issues just left the states make up their own minds

but then again without wedge issues what would the mainstream media have to distract us with but that's just my opinion. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. chile corporations rule the day.

you're watching live from moscow germany's christian democratic union is using its annual meeting to celebrate their leader the i and frau and get america will run for a third term as chancellor in the next year as general elections and heads up party congress has been labeled of the macao earlier i spoke to german politicians to fund a vet and he believes that germany doesn't have any real alternative but to let the show go on in crisis times people always truck around the strong leaders. there is neither in the union in the christian democratic union challenger

nor is there anybody from the opposition so far who is a strong enough personality to really challenge her. so merkel is trying to tie the e.u. to a fiscal union if michael is really led to for a third term how much will her european economic policy change i mean will it become more aggressive she seems to have a lot of weight since she is the most popular person at the moment. yeah it will not become more aggressive but it will be felt more strongly because this fiscal union which is imposed from central bureaucratic brussels will force. the people to accept things that they otherwise wouldn't accept so it will become and so governments and parliaments will lose its sovereign budget rights and that is unbelievable for a confederation of states as europe it is so if she is reelected will she be seeking to firmly establish germany as the center of the euro politically as well

as economically no i don't think so i think she will still seek the support of all other european partner countries however the central forces of brussels will become stronger and that is generally a bad. development it would be much better the sovereign states the consideration which have its proper parliaments to decide upon these things instead of somebody in the central in brussels. india has announced it's ready to deploy its navy in the south china sea to protect its oil interests the concerns were caused by accusations from vietnam that china is interfering with shipping in oil explorations in the area but beijing building up its military the sea is at the center of a five nation scramble for influence and control india does not lay any territorial claims but its national interests are tied to the seas vast natural resources

problem and it is two weeks for all. to get in a cell for time to see chinese authorities on one hand also has to satisfy the mastic nationalist sentiments and at the same time you would like to avoid see reus conflicts. or even an escalation of tension with his neighbors. a look at some more international stories in brief now a number of egyptian newspapers have refused to publish they choose a additions in protest of the nation's new draft constitution the document has been drawn up by an islamist led panel with the backing of the president journalists are denouncing it because they're concerned about potential restrictions on freedom of expression this comes on a day new anti-government marches on mounts in the capital cairo protesters want an end to the presidency job extra powers and a rethink on the constitution. over

a bipartisan destructive force is beyond reform you can't reform that federal government whether it's the republicans in charge or obama basically of the republicans are just as bad as far as we're concerned they're corrupt and are out of touch in southern former confederate states like north carolina culture and social issues play a big role for those like harold cruz who believes the u.s. is too big and thus destined to fail and the south general. were different country already than the united states and we simply need our own government we have different values different belief systems critics have dismissed secessionists as disgruntled voters angry over president obama's second term however and that's you thousand a presidential election obama became the first democrat in more than thirty years to win north carolina a red state turned blue with the promise of change four years later tens of

an overhaul within the pentagon's defense intelligence agency which is expected to rival the cia scott horton contributing editor at harper's magazine believes the u.s. is admitting its neglected the old fashioned tradecraft of gathering intelligence. this planning change actually can be read as an admission of sorts and that is that the intelligence that's been collected by this massive apparatus has been very very weak particularly in the critical north east. middle east and. and the north africa region and also in pakistan the intelligence community did not see the arab spring coming. in the korea's months about the situations and countries like egypt and syria for instance and i think in part this results from a heavy focus by the intelligence community overall or on what's called signal

signals intelligence that is very very sophisticated intercept systems to the detriment of the traditional human intelligence and i think now what we see in washington is a general acceptance of the fact that you can't do that the system is out of balance that they have to have much better human intelligence gathered on the ground to be able to interpret what they've gotten from signals and this is an effort to to address that problem but it also means continuously but looming budget for intelligence. american police made another controversial step but to keep an eye on its citizens blocking all personal attacks on messages that's a new proposition submitted to congress by a group of law enforcement professionals don't know what experts have to say about it on our website at r t v dot com. and scholarship with benefits a website offering university tuition for exactly this experience in the u.k.
